\ Application filed September I l wagon provided with a handle torpulling'it in the conventional manner andalso having a steering bar `forguiding vthe structure whenV coasting or when being` pushed by anotherperson or means. Y

VwVith theV above and'otherV objects in view, the present inventionconsists lin the com-y bination and arrangement of parts, hereinaftermore fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing, andparticularly y pointed out in the appended claims, it being understoodthat changes may be made in the `form, size and proportion withoutldeparting from the spirit, j or sacrificing any of ythe advantages ofthe invention.v

In the drawing. Y Fig. 1 is a side view of my improved coaster wagon;

Fig. 2 is a top plan view thereof. Fig. 3 is an inverted bottom view.

Fig. 4 is an enlarged frame. detail illus-V trating the connection ofthe center piece or backbone to the front axle. iY

Fig. 5 is a front view of the clip in which the handle is placed lafterit is detached from the wagon, the backbone beingwshownin section.

Fig. .6 is a detail end view of the connec- V tion for securing thehandle in place.

Referring now Vparticularly to the drawing in which I have shown thepreferred embodiment of my invention, the numeral 1indicates the groundenga-ging wheels .which are revolubly mounted on the front and rear axlemembers 2 and 3 respectively, and which together with thelongitudinally. eX- tending center brace or member vr4 which is weldedto the rear axlev comprisesthe trame.

The front end of this center brace 4 is pivotally secured to a yoke 5 bymeansrof theV bolt 6. this yoke'in turn embracing the fron-t.

A small bracket 12'is secured to thev front end of the wagon bymeans ofscrews '13 or the like, anda' vertically kprojectingtube or bar 14extends through suitable openings,

therein. Handle bars 15 are secured to the upper end ofthistu'be, thelower end being secured to y a transversely disposed radiusplate 16 inany approved manner.

The front 'axle is providedl with spaced apart metal clips'l? to whichthe rods 18 are'connected, suitable openings being provided inthe radiusplate 16 andto which the being` formed with resilient curvedgtorkedends, kwhich converge and are secured lina pipe member riveted.

From the foregoing kdescription it will be obvious'jthat I haveperfected averyv simple and substantial non-tipable coaster wagon Lhaving detachableyhandle which can be quickly applied to ordetachedxfromrthe wagon. .e

A non-tipable coaster Wagon comprising front and rear axle members, abody mounted thereon and to the rear of the front axle, a longitudinallyextending brace silient clips frictionally secured to the front axle,rods connecting' theclips and radius bar, said clips each having aforwardly extending loop to which a draft handle is adapted to bedetachably secured.

In testimony whereof I atlix my signature.
